2009 UCI ProTour


The 2009 UCI ProTour was the fifth series of the UCI ProTour. Two new teams, the American and the Russian, joined the ProTour, effectively taking over the licenses of and. Two existing teams changed title sponsors: from Denmark became, and changed name to. As in 2008, the races organized by the three Grand Tour organizers were not part of the ProTour. Rather than a ranking based only on the ProTour, the UCI designed a World Calendar, on which the Monument events and Grand Tours were included, with a corresponding 2009 UCI World Ranking.
The first race was the 2009 Tour Down Under in January, and the series ended with the 2009 GP Ouest-France in August.
